Recruiting Update: Surging O-Lineman, Kicker commit to Oregon.

Football Recruiting

Commitments

The latter half of June saw Oregon pick up commitments from several preps: tight end Johnny Mundt(3-Star/Modesto, CA) as well as wide receivers Darren Carrington(3-Star/San Diego, CA) and Chris Seisay(3-Star/American Canyon, CA).

OL Alex Redmond (3-Star/Los Alamitos, CA).

With a foundation of future skill position players esyablished, the Ducks added blocking power and special teams prowess in newly committed high school stars, lineman Alex Redmond(3-Star/Los Alamitos, CA) and kicker Matt Wogan(NR/Indian Trail, NC).

A lineman that tips the scales around 300 lbs. is nothing to joke about. One who is that heavy and possesses athleticism to boot is just plain intimidating. With his commitment, Redmond may usher in a new era of Duck lineman that match “southern conferences who shall not be named” pound-for-pound.

Wogan’s 64 yard/kickoff average while at the prep level is no fluke. Throw in a 77% touchback mark and current Duck Ausherman’s punting leg, and Oregon just compiled the next great duo of Oregon special teams stars.

Oser is a prototypical Duck lineman at 6’4, 270 lbs. However, with the recent addition of the aforementioned Redmond, the future weight standard may increase for those who roam the Oregon trenches toting Lightning Yellow and Thunder Green. Nevertheless, Oser is a prime target, and there’s always bulk to be added come time spent with Oregon’s increasingly legendary strength and conditioning staff.
